That’s the problem with edgy, experimental projects. You can’t really tell if they’ll succeed until a lot of work has been put into them.

Most of the people I hear being critical of AI Coding are very clear about what it’s good for, and what it isn’t.

If someone is wholly for or against something, their advice generally isn’t very good.+

We could always “stop having pointless arguments about it”.

Some people enjoy normal, and some people enjoy inverted. Most people have a strong preference.

There needs to be an option for it in the controls. End of story.

And yes, I read the article. It just says that people have preferences. It does some weird hand-wavey “science” to say that it’s in their brain (of course it is) and not something they learned. Well, either way, it’s in their brain now. This “science” says nothing about where they learned the preference, or if it was innate. It’s a pointless article.

I don’t know yet, but I’ll have to see if I can find people who will describe it fully before I upgrade my firmware. I’m definitely not looking forward to that.

Snapmaker U1 kickstarter is on right now. Watch some videos on how the preview units went and then consider that.

Or the Elegoo Centauri Carbon is getting a ton of recommendations. No multi-color addon yet, but it should be released soon. We have no idea if it’ll work well or not, though.

I still love my A1 and A1 Mini and use them a lot. Like you, I’ve frozen them in time. And I use Orca with them. But I’m not actually afraid to upgrade. I think the “dev mode” will probably be fine, and I actually expect to have to update eventually anyhow. I think Orca will probably eventually update to only use the “dev mode” interface and not work with older firmwares. I can’t see them maintaining 2 different ways to connect to a proprietary printer.

I don’t think anyone puts this much work into something to make it “deliberately bad”.

But when I first saw it, I couldn’t believe it was actually a thing. The mix of things you do in this don’t make sense to me. In what world would I think being a “toll booth operator” involve selling dodgy drinks to people?

The grooves?

The pattern on the left is actually just inside the case, under a clear part of the case. That part is black in the Euro version, but the case looks the same otherwise. (We have cases like that, too.)

Edit: Also, that Japanese one? I’m pretty sure it’s the same style, but turned upside down. That’s the base of the case. Searching Google, I found a copy on Ebay that shows the front, and that section of the front of the case is clear for that one, too.

That sounds like pretty much exactly what we did at my last job, and it worked pretty well IMO. The individual commits in a PR didn’t ever matter. I don’t even think we used them for code review, except if it came up for review a second time after rework. In that case, we were able to just look at the new commit to see if the right changes were made.

And we definitely avoided basing off each other’s branches. We had to do it a few times. The only times it went well was when the intent was to merge the child branch into the feature branch. If they were actually separate tickets (and the second relied on the first) it was generally chaotic. But sometimes, it was just necessary.

Having a dream isn’t wrong, but every business is difficult, and this one is already being run under by cheap Chinese prints.

It’s still possible, but all the success I hear now is from people who have designed their own product and are fulfilling specific needs, like adapters for certain tools and such.

Etsy also just banned 3d prints of other people’s design, so it’s even harder to make money with those now.

You can still make money with your own designs on Etsy, and direct to people who need things, but now it’s as much about the design of the items as the printing of them.

I suppose selling at a local market can still work, too, but it’s a huge time sink. (Like any other job, I guess.)

Looks like they’re going back to Ryza’s exploration/gathering tools, which is great. I loved that system, and the constantly making of newer and better tools.

Unfortunately, it looks like they kept the mobile Resleriana game’s synthesis. Weak. :(

Ah, yeah, I think I remember that. It was pretty obvious it would be brutal for a lot of gamedev companies there, and I wasn’t surprised at all that it didn’t end up going through.

I’m not sure what you mean. The in-game reward path still has a daily “check in” task for points. And the daily “do 4 tasks” thing is in there, though they’ve opened it up a lot, which I really appreciate. (You can now do quests, open chests, or anything that costs energy to complete them, as well as the standard 4 mini-quests.) And the web checkin is still daily, with only 3 days that you can reclaim by visiting certain pages.

Yup. Though I’ve been pausing more and more lately. The months where I already own the games because I loved them are ones that I can’t blame them for. But there’s been plenty that I just wasn’t interested in.

I’ve played Genshin almost since the start (took a break for a while) and it’s had daily tasks the whole time. You earn gems and other in-game rewards every day for it. There’s also an additional web-based daily checkin as well.

Parsec? It has virtual monitors.

A lot of people see an upvote as a signal that they endorse the message, or at least want it to spread.

A downvote is the opposite of that.

You’ll never convince people not to “shoot the messenger” on link aggregators because it’s antithetical to their view of the system.

I watched a youtuber that was using this, and the cost to print something was pretty high. Like a 2 inch by 2 inch tile with a little depth was like $2 USD for the ink/resin alone. A larger board that looked like it was about 1 ft by 2 ft, with a single layer of print (no depth), was about $25, IIRC.

It’s beautiful, but so expensive to run, IMO.

Apparently not. I had to click a few pages into their site for this:

“While Eclipse Theia incorporates certain components from Visual Studio Code, such as the Monaco editor, it is independently developed with a modular architecture and is not a fork of VS Code.”

Those “former marketing leads” are former for a reason then, I guess. There’s absolutely no way that Nintendo is going to “eat the cost” on this.

For one thing, the Chinese tariffs are more than 100%. They are certainly not going to pay to ship their console.

But they’ve been pretty clear in the past that they aren’t about “loss leaders” and will charge what the console is worth.
